Massport Logan International Airport Terminal CThe 40-year-old Terminal C, main terminal at Boston’s Logan Airport, and Piers A and D contain piping for several utility systems. Due to the failure of the antiquated power ventilation system within the crawl space of Terminal C, the service life of the piping infrastructure was significantly reduced, subsequently causing issues with high humidity levels. Following an intense study phase, RDK Engineers conducted a thorough assessment of the existing conditions of the crawl space and led a multi-disciplined team for the comprehensive restoration of the aging Terminal C crawl space ventilation system. RDK determined that the excessive humidity was being caused by several factors related to the mechanical systems, including corrosion of the hanger support assemblies and deterioration of the piping insulation. RDK identified several suggestions for corrections, including structural, equipment and piping repairs, installation of VAV’s to increase ventilation, and replacement of piping insulation, existing chilled water, steam and condensate isolation valves, and rusted hanger assemblies. RDK helped to extend the useful life of Terminal C while providing a more efficient and cost effective space for the Massachusetts Port authority. |
